No. It gradually gets higher then lower. So plenty of in betweens.

Hence the technical terms:
"coming up to neaps"
"just past neaps"
"coming up to springs"
"just past springs"
"coming up to neaps"
"just past neaps"
"coming up to springs"
"just past springs"

Hi James,
There is a lot "in between". THe tides are influenced by the moon. As the moon waxes and wanes so the tides move between Springs and Neaps. Looking at the almanac you will see that the height of tide changes each and every day.
We have Spring Tides approximately every 2 weeeks and neaps fall on the vacant weeks.
Hoope that this helps .
